[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 139713, member: 6152"] We had a customer come into the shop with a custom .505 Gibbs rifle that put him in the hospital the first time he shot it. The recoil was so bad, that he cut his face with the scope. And it was a low power NXS scope to boot. We installed this recoil system on his existing wooden stock, and I volunteered to be the "man" to shoot it first. What was I thinking? I was quite impressed. Recoil was very manageable. I even shot the rifle off the bench without too much discomfort. He wanted us to do some load development... Yeah right.. The only thing we could not reduce was the torque. It almost felt as though I broke a finger or two on my firing hand as they were slammed into the trigger guard as the rifle would twist with torque. We videotaped to shooting session, and if I knew how to post the video clip I would. The audio is quite funny. I give the product a "go" after first hand experience with it. Remember this scope had tons of eye relief, and was low power. [/QUOTE]
